I have never seen a factual instance of one doing such, but one thing is for sure the gifts stay with you as in the case with Solomon and the wisdom that came from God. Nothing about casting out devils though. Remember what happened to the sons of Sceva? Demons wooped 'em terrible. The casting out of devils is an empowerment from God. There are a lot of fluke weird things that go on in the world that are not from light.olindquist wrote:Can anyone explain how known ministers who have been in a known unrepentant death penalty sin (which would cause them to be unsaved according to Dake's definition) and still flow in the supernatural including casting out devils?
To deny this has happened is either a sign of ignorance or just lying.
Maybe someone will post some biblical examples of backsliders casting out demons, if it can be found. If so, I am to be corrected and one thing is for sure, it ain't of God if they do. I think Jesus would have handled that situation differently if the context were different such as during certain events we see in Revelation.
I am also aware that when needed, satan can utilize some baroque things to imitate the miracles of God, yet only magician's tricks. Remember the magicians that cast down the staffs and turned them into snakes? Of course they found out who the God of heaven is when a real snake ate the other "magic" snakes.
